On my way home, literally 1/10 mile from my house, stopped (the BRZ) to help this Mustang out. Wheel flew off at 40 mph. Him and his buddy just got done swapping wheels at a shop 1 mile back and the ding dong that put on his wheels forgot to tighten the left front lugs. Wheel is jacked up, lugs MIA. I ran home, grabbed my floor jack and some tools, pulled a lug from the other 3 wheels, found another on the shoulder and got him back on the road. Very lucky no one was hurt!

Good on you, I went to take off my headlights today and I just noticed I'm missing a lug nut. Went to take the other ones out and they were looser than usual. Figure the guy at firestone forgot to tighten them properly.

Great Sound to it!
What is the rest of your exhaust?
This is one of the headers I am looking at getting, but honestly I am worried about a catless header.
I plan to do some road trips with the car, and even stock, its already not a real quiet car on the highway.

Good thing you checked. It's like you can't trust anyone to do their job right any more. Too big of a hurry to get 'em in and out or just plain lack of attention to detail.

Finally picked up a new Perrin antenna (previous owner added one that was too short) and installed my Valenti black-golds

Installed this trim piece I modified to house my toggle switches (since that little cubby area is all but useless.) I had it wrapped in Alcantara by Sweidit. Still need to figure out how I want to label them...

Blacked out my headlights. Figured since I had my bumper off, might as well replace the left holding bracket that makes my bumper sag - now it looks even worse with new bracket on.

Also figured I'd sand down the headlights - not sure what happened to clear coat, but it's foggy and dull, so I'm actually gonna buy a power drill this time and use a 3m kit.

But I did black out the insides and it's back on my car, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

I don't know what those switches do but it's good to see that space being used for something. That useless little cubby is annoying.

Lol I actually use mine to store a few cool looking shells I picked up at Pebble Beach a few months ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
